• Drive technical documentation, code quality, and best practices; contribute to team standards and reviews.
• Hands-on exposure to Computer Vision and Generative AI/LLMs (e.g., RAG, embeddings, prompt engineering, agent workflows) for retail use cases such as product search, customer support, and content understanding.

• Bachelor’s/Master’s (or equivalent experience) in Data Science, CS, Statistics, Math, or related field.
• 4-8 years in data science / applied ML / advanced analytics with demonstrated production impact.
• Strong Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn) and solid SQL.
• Strong foundations in classical ML, feature engineering, and model evaluation.
• Experience working with large-scale data; exposure to Spark/PySpark and modern data platforms.
• Strong communication and ability to influence decisions with data.

• Retail/e-commerce experience (demand forecasting, pricing/promo, inventory, conversion, customer lifecycle).
